Hi to my imvu family8/3/2023 ![]() That way, we could send photo instructions to a server farm running the engine, have it swap in the requisite PIDs, take the image and send it back down to the client. Preferably, one that could run in a browser. To make "The Snapshot Tool" a reality, I realized that we needed to use a different 3D engine than what originally shipped with IMVU. Other IMVU folks thought the photo editing idea was cool as well and encouraged me to keep digging. ![]() Note that, even in its first incarnation, it was important to me to be able to access this tool outside of the IMVU downloaded client: Here are the first mocks I made of what would become SSR. "What if you could completely control every aspect of the scene you're photographing? Even come back to the the photo later and make changes like.change a Room's lighting or its avatars' expressions? Unlike family reunion photos that LIVE ON FOREVER, you could come back to an IMVU photo any time to make sure everyone was looking at the camera and not blinking! Break up with that loser boyfriend but still want the picture of the waterfall paradise? You could just remove him.or replace him with your new BF!" I thought this was super cool so, in my own time, I started tinkering with how this system could work. It all started one day when I was attempting to resolve issues with IMVU's first pass snapshot tool and I let my mind wander into larger solution territory. What's more, I conceived of methods for leveraging 2D snapshots of 3D to deliver a similar experience. In 2012, IMVU's awesome growth was hindered by its need for a desktop app, an older rendering engine and its lack of a meaningful mobile presence. I conceived of, championed and lead the team responsible for building the tech and test products that allowed the IMVU experience to be offered on all platforms.
